I prefer stainless lines, they always look good, never rust or flash rust, and if you like a little bling, they buff out super easy with just a cloth and polish before install,....I like to do the car once, that's it, you want to avoid leaks, regardless of the line, stainless or steel, use the proper tubing wrenches, and on stainless, use some liquid teflon on the treads, never had a leak, and I've done plenty of cars and trucks with stainless, not just brake, but fuel, emissions, etc, basically everyline in the car

..isn't stainless 37 degree as opposed to 45 for regular lines...they can still seal with this mismatch but not as easily. ..stainless won't look stock though.
SS should be 45* like the mild steel. AN fittings however are made on a 37*

Never had any problems with stainless leaking, if you make them yourself oil helps while flairing, and as long as you have a decent flairing tool you won't have any problems, the one I have cost me $40 bucks. Also they say if you use a cut off wheel instead of a tubing cutter to cut your lines it won't work harden the steel making it easier to flair.
